The name of Yaroslav Yasakov has already entered the Guinness Book of Records, since he is noted as the youngest artist on our planet. AND really – craving for drawing he showed up already in one and a half months when his mother got the idea to let the baby play bright color felt-tip pens. He immediately began to apply to others objects bright strokes of paint – had to attach a sheet before the crumb Whatman paper and periodically change to new ones. 
Photos from open sources Gradually in the “kalyak” baby began guess different images, outlandish plants, animals, human figures. Sheets were replaced – new stories appeared. TO For three months Yaroslav was the author of 20 works. Yasakov showed “creations” of the little son to friends, and those, without saying a word, advised make an exposition from the drawings. February 14, 2002 opened The first exhibition of a breast artist called “Impulses of Love.” So the priority of the young artist for the Book of Records was declared. But I must say that, most likely, the boy was not born by chance It is in this family – the family of artists. It happened on November 1, 2001. years in the city of Orenburg. Tatyana, mother of Yaroslav, heads the regional Center for Applied Arts and Crafts, Oleg, Dad, also good draws. At six months, Yaroslav already had two of his personal exhibition – the second was called “Breath of Spring”. It presents already 80 paintings. Most of them are written with brushes and paints that the baby learned to work with. Mom remembers that for some reason, inspiration visited him mainly at night: not having painted, Yaroslav did not want to calm down and fall asleep. His had to keep on weight, since he himself could not reach canvases. He also chose paints for some reason only he knew criteria: something rejected immediately, others willingly used. On the pictures guessed images of fairy-tale characters – mermaids, Goldilocks, snakes and tropical fish, terrestrial landscapes. It is striking that among his paintings there are clearly fantastic images. Maybe parallel to him is open reality, and it reflects what he saw there, on other worlds? At 7 months the boy no longer created “avant-garde” canvases, but wrote with nature. In his drawings you can see flowers in vases, cats, horses. Tatyana showed her son’s work to specialists in Samara and Moscow. Pundits seriously discussed the creations of the young abstract, until they found out that he still does not know how to speak … In recently, a miracle baby mastered a pencil and even tries his forces in the art of batik. At his next exhibition in Central The artist’s house in Moscow has already presented 120 paintings miracle child, among which there are paintings on wooden nesting dolls and Easter eggs, there are fantastic stories from his visions … Less in all, Yaroslav should be declared a sort of genius whose hand does not lets out brushes, and the eyes just look for a flat surface so that capture her creative thought on it. He is ordinary, alive, nimble boy. I learned to read very quickly. With mom’s help “went through” a dozen hobbies – from dancing to design and to everyone cooled down. Some of the paintings by Yaroslav Yasakov today hang in the Orenburg Regional Museum of Local Lore. Museum workers asked them not to take away. The thing is probably in the mood emanating from these works. Paints of happiness, multi-colored lines, dots, brush strokes. Baby generously shares what he saw, and believes that adults will understand him. How will be his future – is unknown, but the attention of adults, early caught and correctly guided the desire of the gifted child to painting, still play a positive role. After all, more often everything happens like this: did not have time to make out – the window to the world closes. AND they will become our ordinary, but no less beloved children. However, there will be no miracle. Maybe never. Gennady Belimov Half-year-old Yaroslav Yasakov from Orenburg already has two personal exhibitions and the title “The Youngest Artist on the Planet”, awarded to him by the Russian Committee for the Registration of Records Which of us in childhood was not engaged in “painting” – in the sense of not wet diapers or more than that – did not paint them in the colors of the “nursery surprises “? Baby Yaroslav with the help of his mother once turned his the diaper in the picture, and worked with a brush and paints, and not with what ordinary children. Diaper canvas has already found its admirers: acquaintances of the Yasakovs in Moscow wanted to buy Yaroslavushka’s work, but Tatyana suggested changing the picture to a set of good paints – they the artist needs it. However, everything is in order. Yaroslavushka – so affectionately called his mom Tatyana and dad Oleg – for his six months a serious guy, has already two personal Exhibitions. The first, where the graphics were presented, was called “Impulses of love”, the second – an exhibition of paintings “Breath of Spring”. The main merit that they took place belongs to my mother. Tatyana – artist, director of the regional Center for Applied creativity and crafts. When the baby needed developing “holding-grabbing” exercises, from toys Yaroslav chose not rattles, and markers. Affected parents secured a sheet in the crib Whatman paper, and the first-born began to climb the heights of creativity. At three o’clok of the month Yaroslavushka created 20 works, of which artists, friends Yasakov, advised to make an exposition. At the opening of the exhibition the newly appeared abstractionist was invited by relatives, acquaintances, Journalists burst out with benevolent reviews … Work with brushes and paints, to which the child also showed interest, were harder than with markers. Mom had to keep the painter on weight, offering a choice of different colors. Some colors Yaroslavushka swept away immediately, discarding the brush with the paint drawn on it, others took enthusiastically. As a result, they turned out to be painted and the leaf, and the surrounding objects, and, of course, mom. 80 picturesque works presented at the second exhibition of Yaroslav, found alive response from a creative audience. In confident sweeping strokes Adults saw mermaids, a sickle and a hammer, a fabulous beauty Goldilocks, tropical fish. In Moscow and Samara, where Tatyana went on service, “abstract” works of Yaroslav were discussed quite seriously, but only until critics found out that the author can’t even speak yet. At those who came to the exhibition, read about a young artist or saw television stories about him, relevant to the creativity of a six-month-old baby is not unique. Someone sees in these pictures make sense and even depth. But most believe that any child can “play it up” if given to him pencil or brush. Anyone not anyone, but maybe soon in Orenburg the third solo exhibition of the youngest will open “abstractionist” of the planet. Only a diaper would be enough … sorry canvases and paints. TWO OPINIONS
Natalia Chekhonadskaya, doctor: – At this age, the child is not can draw consciously because the level of mental and physiological development is still very low. Similar “works” can be obtained, for example, by tying the brush to the trunk elephant, we will not call it creativity. Yuri Rysukhin, artist, Honored Worker of Culture: – I saw these works. Formally you can attribute them to abstractionism, but this is not painting. About nothing compared with the works of recognized abstract artists are not out of the question. And the very concept of creativity excludes unconsciousness of the process. Sergey SHERMETSINSKY
